Multi OptionalComponents

Submitted by david_pi on October 8, 2011 - 1:47am

Excuse me. I have searched the forum but cannot find answer. So I post here.
It seems installer.ini only support one OptionalComponent.

[OptionalComponents]
OptionalComponents=true
OptionalSectionTitle=XXX

Is it possible add more Optional Components without modifying the .nsi file?
Like: OptionalSectionTitle2=XXX OptionalSectionTitle3=XXX ,etc...
Thanks!

Administrator / Elevated

Hi I am a newbie here,

this question might have been answered already.
I searched but couldn't find the answer tho.

I am trying to make a payed software (registry workshop) from torchsoft.com portable.
It's only for personal use and I will not release it so please don't even ask.:)

Now to my problem,

I have added
RunAsAdmin=force
RunAsAdminXP=none
to my launcher ini file, forcing the application to start with elevated rights on everything after windows xp.

Launcher Generator Use?

Submitted by miksmith on October 7, 2011 - 6:34am

Hi

I installed Launcher Generator (and NSIS) and then pointed it at the directory of an app I wanted to portabilize. I then get the following error:

ERROR: C:\Program Files\Genbox Family History\App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini doesn't exist!

Am I doing something wrong in its use at all?

thanks

Folders: I don't like 'em

Submitted by StupidLogin on September 29, 2011 - 5:52pm

I know it's a bit selfish, but I don't like opening up my thumb drive and seeing a bunch of folders. Then clicking on said folders. Then clicking on the application.

Is there any way to lift the program from the folder, hide the folder, and still have it work?

Please don't suggest creating a shortcut; I have already tried this multiple times and it works for a week or two but is then made "invalid" (No idea why).

PAL problem (Popman)

Popman (smal email client) has support for a "bigger" email client like Thunderbird. The path to that app is stored in an ini file as EmailClient=C:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\ThunderbirdPortable.exe.
Adding support for portability is easy (replace the drive letter). But adding support for path portability is hard because %PAL:PartialPath% doesnt work as it isnt the apps path that is needed but the path to Thunderbird Portable.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

launcher should create an exe to start two programs

Submitted by uta on September 22, 2011 - 3:20pm

Hi cracks,

I have a program i try to make portable which always needs another program. so i always have to start two portableapps. I thougt it would be a good idea to integrate both programms in one portableapp. More precisely in two app\appname dirs and tell the launcher's ini programexecutable to refer to two exe-files (i tried two lines). That does not work.
